I'm a psychologist. Despite the best efforts of your ideological allies. I told your idiot Senators in 2016 that your idiot virtue signaling Bill C16 would cause a psychogenic epidemic among young women.

In a move to combat political misinformation and abuse, Google has expanded its restrictions on Gemini AI, preventing the chatbot from responding to queries about the upcoming U.S. elections.

How an Appeals Court Ruled on an Aspiring Class-Action Lawsuit Against Binance
CoinDesk: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Crypto News and Price Data (RSS)
A federal appeals court ruled last week that Binance needs to face a putative class-action lawsuit from a group of U.S.-based crypto investors who allege the exchange allowed them to buy and trade unregistered securities in the form of certain cryptocurrencies. The ruling doesn't make a determination on whether the tokens are indeed securities or not, but it's significant in broader securities cases nonetheless.

Nigeria and Binance are still very much in a fight over naira
Cryptopolitan (RSS)
The heat is on and the spotlight is firmly on Binance as Nigeria pulls up its sleeves, digging deep into the operations of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange. This isn’t just a spat in the park; it’s a full-blown brawl over the future of the naira, Nigeria’s currency, and by extension, its economy. As tensions escalate, two senior Binance execs find themselves caught in the middle, their freedom hanging in the balance for over three weeks now. Nigeria isn’t playing games; it demands a deep dive into Binance’s books, seeking data on the top 100 Nigerian users and a comprehensive transaction history of the past six months. Why, you ask? Because Nigeria suspects Binance might be the big bad wolf in its economic saga, potentially destabilizing the naira during a period of severe currency devaluation....

Nearly $400 million in Bitcoin liquidated as price fluctuations continue
Cryptopolitan (RSS)
Just when you thought the cryptocurrency market was ready to take a breather, Bitcoin decides to throw a wild party, hitting a new peak of $73,050. But as quick as a hiccup, it dipped below $70,000 again on March 12. This roller coaster did more than just scare the bejesus out of investors; it led to a staggering $361 million worth of leveraged trades going poof into thin air within a mere 24 hours.
This wasn’t just any ordinary day in the cryptocurrency market—it was a day where long position holders, who were betting on the price to skyrocket, faced a whopping $258 million wipeout. Meanwhile, the short sellers, those naysayers betting against the rise, weren’t left to sip champagne either, losing over $103 million.

The one common flaw between centralization and decentralization
Cryptopolitan (RSS)
In the world of decentralization, Bitcoin has made a grand comeback, with its value skyrocketing to a whopping $73,000. Not just the OG cryptocurrency, but others like Ethereum and the meme-favorite Dogecoin are enjoying their share of the limelight, propelling the market’s worth over the $2.7 trillion mark for the first time in years. But guess what? You might have missed the memo, considering the buzz isn’t as loud as before. No more chatter about which digital coin will hit the jackpot next or queries about when you’ll be able to buy that Lamborghini. The world’s obsession seems to have dialed down a notch, at least for now.
The Unexpected Rise
Crypto’s resurgence in 2024 paints a rather muted picture compared to the frenzied rallies of the past. Gone are the days of ICO madness or the NFT craze. This time, the surge seems to be riding...

Federal Reserve grapples with endurance test as inflation rises to 3.2%
Cryptopolitan (RSS)
The recent uptick in U.S. inflation to 3.2% wasn’t on anyone’s bingo card, proving yet again that the universe has a weird sense of humor, especially when it comes to economics. The Federal Reserve, our monetary watchdog, is now neck-deep in the muck, trying to navigate what’s been dubbed the “last mile” in its marathon against rising prices. Instead of sticking to the anticipated script, inflation decided to throw in a plot twist, much to the chagrin of economists who’d pegged their hopes on a steady 3.1% rate. Suddenly, the journey toward interest rate cuts feels a bit like trying to run through quicksand — with lead shoes.

Tether’s recent collaboration with U.S. authorities to recover a whopping $1.4 million from the clutches of cyber criminals isn’t just a headline; it’s a bold statement in the ongoing war against digital theft.

It’s a tale of technology meeting law enforcement, a confluence of efforts that underscores the commitment to chase down the bad guys, even in the nebulous world of cryptocurrency.
The heart of this operation beats in Chicago, Illinois, where the United States Attorney’s Office, along with the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), rolled up their sleeves to dive into the digital underbelly. They weren’t going in blind; Tether was right ...
